Mossberg Announces Line of ATR Mossy Oak Deer THUG Rifles

North Haven, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Introduced in 2004 and proudly built in the USA, the Mossberg ATR (All-Terrain Rifle) bolt-action has earned the reputation as a dependable, accurate and affordable centerfire rifle with premium features.

Now in conjunction with the release of Mossy Oak’s Deer THUGS TV series, Mossberg is pleased to announce a line of ATR Deer THUG rifles.

Available in three widely-popular calibers: .243 Win, .270 Win and .30-06 Sprg, each rifle features Mossy Oak Break-Up® Infinity™ camouflaged stocks and the “Deer THUGS” logo laser-engraved on the receiver. Honoring the THUGS (Today’s Hunters United for Good) moniker, Mossy Oak donates a portion of the proceeds from their Deer THUGS merchandise sales to the Wounded Warrior Project.

At the core of the ATR rifle is an all-steel machined receiver for a positive lock-up and smooth, solid bolt-operation; free-floating, button-rifled fluted barrel with protective recessed muzzle crown, constructed of durable carbon steel; weather-resistant, classic-styled synthetic stock fully camouflaged with Break-Up Infinity; and integral top-loading magazine with five-round total capacity for reliable feeding and ease of loading/unloading.

Standard on the ATR Deer THUG rifles, and all ATR models, is Mossberg’s patent-pending, user-adjustable LBA™ (Lightning Bolt Action™) Trigger System. The durable machined trigger assembly is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum which undergoes a hard-coat anodization to minimize corrosion and wear. The LBA’s unique skeletonized lightning bolt trigger blade blocks the sear from releasing the striker until the blade is fully depressed. This sear engagement design provides for a creep-free trigger. Trigger pull can be adjusted from 2 to 7 pounds with a standard screwdriver.

Now you can hunt with the same premium bolt-action rifles that the most-experienced, whitetail-savvy hunters take afield – the Mossberg ATR Deer THUG centerfire rifle in .243 Win, .270 Win and .30-06 Sprg!
